Most of the Titans readers and Titans fans on DCN were less than thrilled with Dolphin as a romantic lead for Tempest, which made the scenes where she is being a bitch to "King of the Woobies" Garth that much more vile, expecially concidering Tula's ghost was fettered to Garth and cannot do anything while she watches the man she loves get abused for YEARS. Finally, the odds get evened, Tula and Dolphin are, due to story events, on the astral plane, fighting. Tula proceeds to take out much pent-up frustration on Dolphin's person with extreme prejudice.

In the second Tales of Metropolis, Lois Lane goes through some pretty impressive lengths to land an interview with Batman. She swims to Gotham City, punches a thug, and sneaks into Penguin's hideout, all the while bombarding Bats with questions and never breaking a sweat. Ultimately she succeeds in getting Batman to tell her six things about his career.note Batman gets the funding for the Bat-Plane and its fuel from "sound investments," he built the Batmobile itself, he became Batman because he thinks bats are scary, there have been "a bunch" of Robins over the years, his scariest villain is the Ten-Eyed Man, and his most pathetic foe is Killer Moth.

Also when she saw that Jimmy Olsen had been captured by the Penguin, she immediately proclaimed she'd save him. The only reason she didn't do so was that she remembered she was on Batman's turf and that it would have been rude for her to intervene.

The short becomes even more awesome in itself when you remember that Batman is one of the most illusive characters in the DC Universe, capable of sneaking past even Superman himself. Lois manages to surpass the Bat in stealth and surprise, much to his astonishment and frustration. Maybe she has a minor in ninjutsu?

The fact that Plastic Man, I repeat, Plastic Man was able to best Batman when he was still a thief, as in before he got his powers.
